Book says Roger Ailes called Obama 'lazy' and Biden 'dumb as an ashtray'

Fox News chief Roger Ailes doesn't mince words in a new biography: President Obama is "lazy" and Vice President Joe Biden is "dumb as an ashtray."

But it's not just Democrats who get withering reviews from the conservative media icon. Ailes suggests that Sen. Marco Rubio is too soft and Newt Gingrich is a "sore loser" and an unprintable reference to male anatomy.

The blunt characterizations appear in Vanity Fair's adapted excerpt of "Roger Ailes: Off Camera," by Zev Chafets. Ailes cooperated with the book, which will be published March 19.

The comment about Obama was reportedly made during last year's presidential primary season as Ailes was briefed about Democratic operative Hilary Rosen's remark that Ann Romney had never worked a day in her life.

4. But remember, Fox News is fair and balanced (They pretty much are...)

They present both sides without bias. (They did here, but you couldn't get past the part that you didn't like...) And if you think they're biased, you're just a liberal commie socialist pinko. (Well...pretty much. )

I dunno. I've met some very useful ashtrays. Biden is dumber than... damn, but this is tough. There's got to be something dumb enough to compare to Biden. A bag of doorknobs? A trackpad? One of those plastic things on the end of a shoelace?

Biden is dumber than hen shit on a pump handle. I'm pretty sure hen shit is never actually useful on a pump handle, and it doesn't tend to express much intelligence so far as I've ever seen.

President Barack Obama admitted in an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters, screened on Friday night, that his worst character fault is "laziness" and he is really a big "softie" and not at all "Spock-like."

Asked by Walters to name "the trait you most deplore in yourself," the president -- who was interviewed alongside his wife Michelle -- responded, "laziness."

"You're lazy?" Walters asked.

"You know it's interesting, there is a deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think there's a laziness in me.

Again, I have to hesitate, since the hen $#/+ was smart enough to get on the pump handle, but I doubt that I'll ever have to appologize to any hens for the analogy (while I don't own any ash trays, I do see them on occasion, and I'd hate for it to get back to them that I'd heard them compared to Biden and didn't defend them) so I suppose that we can make that case.
